Insurrectionist Dems seek to Keep Trump from Office.
I absolutely call Trump a POS and have never said I didn't. Your comment is not connected to anything of logic so learn to write out what you are trying to say or don't write bs comments -

do you normally use one of those scrunchie fabric women's hair ties to cordon off your sack first so it doesn't get in the way? -

Fatal Motorcycle Crash at Notorious Bend Sparks Local Superstition
There will always be drunk drivers and bad drivers in every country, so what does real road safety entail? The science of road safety encompasses a multidisciplinary approach that applies scientific principles to understand and mitigate the factors contributing to road accidents and injuries. This includes analysing and understanding various factors – it seems that most contributors to this thread have no idea what they are….. Firstly data analysis and epidemiology; the study of accident data to identify patterns, trends, and risk factors associated with road crashes. This includes analysing factors such as driver behaviour, road conditions, vehicle types, and environmental conditions….and the bend where this crash took place. One looks objectively – not racially – at the human factors – e.g. how human behaviour, cognition, perception, and decision-making influence driving performance and safety outcomes. This includes studying aspects like driver fatigue, distraction, impairment (due to alcohol, drugs, or medication), and psychological factors. Not just simply claimimng it as a cut and dry explanation. Engineering and Infrastructure on Thai roads leave a lot to be desired. They fail to apply even basic engineering principles to design safer roads, intersections, and infrastructure. This involves considerations such as road geometry, signage, traffic signals, lighting, barrier systems, and pedestrian/cyclist facilities. The total ignorance of this aspect is well demonstrated by certain contributors on this thread and others. Because they’ve never heard of it, they think it doesn’t exist – flat earthers to a man! Vehicle Design and Technology plays a part especially in Thailand which has a deadly mix of vehicles that perform poor in safety specifications. Proper Assessment of vehicle safety features and technologies and road design can prevent or mitigate the severity of crashes. This includes advancements in vehicle crashworthiness, active safety systems (e.g., ABS, ESC), passive safety features (e.g., airbags, seat belts), and emerging technologies like autonomous vehicles. As well as what goes on in terms of road furniture, signs, trees barriers, road surfaces, markings etc. The use of behavioural science and education has a part to play also. Using behavioural science to develop effective education, training, and awareness programs aimed at promoting safer driving behaviours and reducing risk-taking on the road is just non-existent in Thailand. Thailand fails miserably in both Policy and Legislation. The effectiveness of road safety policies, regulations, and enforcement strategies are negligible…. this includes assessing the impact of laws related to speed limits, impaired driving, seat belt use, and mobile phone usage while driving. To effect these in any meaningful way will need a reform of both police and the legal / courts system Road safety is not down to drunk drivers, it is a public health problem. Applying public health principles to prevent road traffic injuries and fatalities involves strategies such as trauma care improvements, emergency medical response systems, and injury prevention programs. All of which are virtually absent in Thailand Until recently no one in Thailand is making use of computer simulation and modelling to predict and analyse potential road safety interventions, infrastructure changes, and their impact on traffic flow and safety. If they did they would be able to identify accurately crash hotspots. At present two organisations, one form Sweden and another from Australia are trying to find and re-design crash hotspots. Overall, the science of road safety integrates knowledge and methodologies from various disciplines to develop evidence-based strategies that can effectively reduce the incidence and severity of road accidents, thereby saving lives and minimizing injuries. I see little evidence of awareness of this on this thread. -

I can only show you the door and then you need to walk through it yourself. -

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
I also think its disgusting that Hamas was using the last functioning hospital in North Gaza, again. I thought they would have learnt from the last time but nope.
